Calories/protein for recomp
Hi all, Hope you are doing well. This is my first post and I am quite new to the nutrition/working out world. I actually hit the gym for some years in my teenager times, but put no attention whatsoever to nutrition as I just did it to do some physical activity. Now I am a 22yo male and I have started working out about 2…

Carrying On. Sorta?
The following is more a muse and maybe even a rationalization than a real, useful post. I’m kinda talking myself through this. Sometimes if I see it in writing, it relieves the gnawing and the worry, ya know? After about ten weeks of travel in the past four months- and many more coming up - I’m up about 12 pounds over…

Maintenance mentality
OK, so I've reached my goal. I've lost 60 lbs over 2 years. I've reset my goal on MFP to "Maintain Current Weight". I know exactly how many calories I'm supposed to consume each day. The problem is that it's virtually impossible to hit the exact number. I'm always going to be over or under by a little. The problem with…

Maintain
I have been on this app for over five months now and I love it. I did keto to drop my weight down to my goal. For the past three weeks I have switched from keto to just eating well balanced meals. The biggest change is eating oatmeal for breakfast and popcorn for snacks and to my surprise my weight has stayed the same. I…

Athletes underfueling
I am in a circle of athletes I only know slightly, have been for years, and I'm truly stunned by the number of (almost always) women who, as soon as they have an injury that needs serious time off, immediately are trying to find out how to keep the weight off. So backwards because most serious injuries need one to eat…

Maintenance friends
Hello, I'm looking for friends that are in maintenance or trying to be. I'm coming back from a little workout hiatus and do well when I have some mutual encouragement to get my workout goals in. I'm at the upper end of where I'm comfortable with weighing. If I lose a few more pounds I'm ok with that but I'm trying not to…

Maintenance & Menopause: The Struggle is Real
Hi, Sometimes a girl just needs to vent, ya know? First, some background on my most recent weight loss. I took about a full year to lose 30 pounds (173 to 143 lbs.). I didn't use any "special diet", just calories in/calories out, while paying attention to getting enough protein for my age. Once I hit 30 pounds of loss, I…

All the years of this health and weight lost journey this was my first seasons of not weighing myself every month and being…

Hit my first mini goal today!
I've lost my first 20lbs! 21.6 to be exact. I even broke out some of my "what if pants" and was able to wear them. I cut almost all carbs out this past week and learned my body loves sugar and carbs if I eat just a small amount I maintain or gain weight. I'm going need all the motivation I can get because I love carbs 😁…

This feels weird
I hit my weight loss goal this past Thursday. I went from 388.6 to 235. Took me a little over 11 months. It's all I thought about. I wanted this sooooo badly. I got back into running which I NEVER thought was possible. I'm now training to run my first 5km race in 16 years. I'm up to 5.5 km a day (the days I run) It just…

Hard times.
Is anyone else completely terrified of gaining the weight back that adding calories or trying to accurately pin point you maintenance calories is hard? I’m 5’3 27 years old and 122 pounds. I work a desk job but workout 6 days (sometimes even 7) a week for at least an hour. I don’t know how to find out my maintenance…

If your goal weight was 120 lbs, what would your +/- be?
I'm not trying to be obsessive, but if my goal is 120 lbs, how much latitude do you give yourself? Is 118 lbs at goal? Is 122 lbs at goal? Where would the limits be if this were you? Thanks!

Please I need answers
I am trying to find out for a friend of mine how do I get rid of her pie symbol which will show how many carbs and fat or sugar she has within that day. She doesn't remember how it got there and I have tried to get rid of it and nothing I do takes it off. Some suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. :)

Obsessed with recipes, cooking, meal planning, cooking utensils
I've been maintaining for a couple of years now, healthy BMI of ~23 down from ~35. Very pleased with this overall, although still can't really believe it after so many years before of trying and failing. However, one thing I noticed is that in that time I have become a LOT more interested in recipes, cooking, cookbooks,…
